Topological Group
A topological group is a group G equipped with a topology such that the group operations (multiplication and inversion) are continuous.
Open Set
An open set in a topological space is a set that, around each of its points, contains a neighborhood entirely contained within the set.
Neighborhood
A neighborhood of a point is a set that includes an open set containing the point.
Group
A group is a set equipped with a single associative binary operation that has an identity element and where every element has an inverse.
Homeomorphism
A homeomorphism is a continuous function between topological spaces that has a continuous inverse function.
Topology
A topology on a set X is a collection of open sets that include X and the empty set, is closed under arbitrary union and finite intersection.
Inverse Element
In group theory, the inverse of an element a is an element that, when combined with a under the group operation, yields the identity element.
Associative Property
A binary operation on a set is associative if for all elements , , and in the set.
Identity Element
In a group, the identity element is the element which, when combined with any element of the group, yields that element.
Hausdorff Space
A Hausdorff space (or T2 space) is a topological space where for any two distinct points there exist disjoint open sets containing each of the points.
Continuous
A map between topological spaces is continuous if the preimage of every open set is open.
Closure Property
A set is closed under an operation if performing that operation on members of the set always yields a member of the set.
